lol fking Adam's apple, I have a really sharp Adam's apple and it's pretty much a magnet for cuts / razor burn. There's no easy way about it with the DE. Cartridge gets it fine though.

I've also started playing around with the adjustment of my Feather DE pole...I'm not sure how adjustable it's meant to be, but you can give it an aggressive setting by not tightening the blade as much. The blade feels flimsier, so have to do it carefully, however you can get a with the grain shave almost as close as against the grain.

Agree re: side pass. It's good, especially for cheeks...what bothers me though is knowing that if I do an against the grain after a side pas I'd still pick up a heap of grain lol

Nervously broke out the Dovo shavette last night for my first foray into cut throat shaving. Really thought I was going to walk away with a face full of blood, so decided to just stick with cheeks.

Well, after them, I thought I'd try the side of my neck...before I knew it, I had done the whole face. Seriously the most comfortable shave I've ever had! It may help that I spent half an hour doing it so as not to slice myself, but I think all my time with a DE safety had helped me transition to this, as aside from holding the handle completely differently, the same rules applied (angle + pressure). Not a single nick, just one or two red spots from against the grain strokes. This was also using just king of shaves kinesium oil and Gilette foam, no real shave soap or prep. Definitely sticking to the shavette, and touchwood it wasn't just beginners luck.

There's hope for me getting a traditional straight razor yet!

straight razors are fun to use.

I am still getting use to mine, mainly with my left hand. But with each shave I am nicking myself less and less.

will need to get a new shaving cream as my stuff from America is running low so i'll be on the hunt for some knew stuff.

Any recommendations?

Might be some good stuff on mensbiz?

I can't recommend anything as I haven't tried enough, I just go off the mensbiz reviews and buy stuff with a minimum 4 stars...that seems safe to me.

If you're talking off the shelf I always swear by Nivea's gel. Currently using Gilette Fusion gel and it's not bad.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
